Caustics in seismology

Catastrophe optics provides insights into the structure of the caustics produced by seismic events. Two examples are given. The first is the caustic formed on the surface of the Earth between 10° and 30° from the event by P rays that have reached the transition zone of the mantle. This is organized...
